Poverty

I must call the son of the morning
Won't you be my morning star?

Poverty is all we see
Poverty is all the ghetto see
Poverty is all we see
War is all the ghetto see

The rich men laugh and steal
While the youths are calling for just a little meal

Poverty is all the ghetto see
Poverty is all we see
Poverty is all we see
War

War and rumors of war
Rich men rob and steal

Poverty is all the ghetto see
Poverty

I'm talking about Trenchtown
Talking about Trenchtown too
And down the door, Trenchtown too

Poverty is all we see
Poverty is all the ghetto see
Poverty is all we see
War

Talking about Baxter
Talking about Reba
I'm talking about Joker
I'm talking about Diwali

Poverty is all we see
Poverty

Now here comes your mommy
With her little dish
What we can do is
Is cut up a fish
Yeah, yeah, there's a hole up in the roof
Up in the man
You got to make it out of roof
Because of poverty
So we get to work all the time

Poverty is all the ghetto see
Poverty

Talking 'bout Brixton
I'm talking 'bout Lancaster
I'm talking 'bout Brooklyn
I'm talking 'bout the Brownsville

Poverty is all the ghetto see
Poverty

I'm talking 'bout Lagos

Poverty is all the ghetto see
Poverty

I'm talking 'bout Ethiopia
